Boosting Gary will be the main function of the newly organised Chamber of Commerce of Gary, which came into permanent being at a meeting held in the Gary' hotel last night. The new civic body, it is intended, shall embrace every commercial Interest in the city. Judge Louis A. Bryan, the city's only millionaire, who has lived within t-he confines of what is Tiow Gary for nearly a score of years and who became wealthy because he hung onto a couple of hundred acres of seemingly worthless sand land, was rjamed aa president. Other Officers Named. Other officers chosen are: Vice president William J. Feder. Secretary William J. Patterson. Treasurer John B. Greene. Chairman of the board of directors C. V. Gough. Another meeting will be held, at a place to be announced later, on next Friday evening. At that time more de tails of the organization will be worked out. It Is proposed to follow the Oklahoma City plan and have ten or twelve directors, each representing a certain commercial interest. Dura 91 and Vs. Dues are to be at least one dollar a month, and those who want to can give more. By the low rate it is expected hat not only business but working ;ien as well win be attracted to ine new booeter organization. Forty were present at last night's session in the Gary hotel. Temporary President W. G. Wright, who was named at a previous meeting, occupied the chair at the outset of the meeting. He read the plai of the Oklahoma City Chamber of Commerce and gave further Information. Dryan GIvea 91.200 Yearly. "I will pay ten dollars a month dues," said Mr. Wright. "And I will raise the pot," came from Col. Timothy Englchart. "I'll pay $25 a month dues Then a quiet gentleman, wearing two big diamonds, arose and took the breath away from the audience when he said: "Gentlemen, I will pay $100 a month In dues." The speaker was Judge Bryan. Forty Are Enrolled. Following that forty were enrolled who promise an aggregate sum of dues amounting to $3.0S6 a year. This amount will insure the services of an executive secretary, who will be engaged later on after applicants are duly advertised for. It Is also probable that a press agent will be engaged and Thomas Cannon, an experienced Chica go newspaper man, now in Gary, will probably be named as the club's pub licity director. Speeches were made by Charles W. Barnes, of the Chicago Association o Commerce, and several others. A reso lution was passed inviting the assist ance of the Chicago association. Lint of Member. W. G.

Had it not been that Mr. Brant was driving at comparatively slow speed, about fifteen miles an hour, it is probable the accident would have been attended by serious injury to some of the occupants and probably by death. As It was when the wheel collapsed, the machine struck the curb with considerable force throwing Wilson over the front of the machine into the street, while Ed Brant and Ferguson and Wilcox were also thrown out, the latter going through the windshield and shattering it to a thousand pieces. Ed Brant fell violently against the curb and perhaps the most seriously hourt of all, Wilcox, strangely enough experiencing only some slight cuts on one of his hands, caused by cominug in contact with the breaking glass. Wilcox Kn was injured somewhat when he fell. The damage to the machine which was badly wrecked, consisted of the bending of a front axle, the breaking of one of the springs, the demolition of the wind shieM and the injuring of the steering wheel, and engine, to say nothing of the collapsing of the front wheel which was responsible for the accident. The machine which was a converted

Llmoslne, was hauled to the Stephens garage for repairs.

WARRANT OUT FOR BOWSER .Continued from Page L) man. He will be placed under arrest when found and haled before the Valaparalso court. It Is understood that the state has information that Alderman Bowser tried to tamper with witnesses in an effort to Induce them to modify their testimony against Mayor Knotts and the other defendants. Action C'nuMca Surprise. That Bowser, who is a republican and who has been bitterly opposed to lhe mayor, should have gotten Into the latter's band wagon has caused con siderable surprise, but, according to stories told by those subpoenaed as wi-tnesses, he tried to influence them in the mayor's behalf. On Tuesday Alderman Bowser is said by the attorneys for the state, Messrs. Whinery and Welsheimer, to have held conference with the mayor. Since then he has not been seen. Three months ago the Gary alderman announced that he would lead a council fight to Impeach Knotts. This came as a result, he said, of his uncovering evidence whereby the mayor had given orders to Dog-Face Charley to assassi nate him when the council was at war with the mayor. REED OF llHOi LOWEST CHURCH BIDDER (Special to The Times.) East Chicago, June 24. Bids for the new Methodist church that is to be erected at the Circle. Baring and Chicago avenues, were opened last night in the offices of the chairman of the building committee, A. G. Slocomb. J. W. Reed, of Hammond, was the lowest bidder, his estimate for the Job being $23,000. The other bidders and 1 their figures were as follows: August Johnson, $24,750. Moore & Sons, of Danville, I1L, $25,000. StoefTel & xveiland, of Hammond, $29,750. The contract was not let last night. the bids being taken under adrlsement until next Friday, during which time the committee will consult with the church members as to the advisability of putlng up the church in accordance with the plans as they now stand, or whether to change the plans so as to reduce the cost to an even $20,000. This was the sum originally agreed on as the cost or construction, Dut some changes have been made in the plans since, which the building com mittee had hoped could be crowded in with the $20,000 limit. The changes include the addition of a room 18x30 feet in dimensions for the seating of the Infant department, a number of fire places not originally provided for and the substitution of oak instead of pine, for the interior finish. The questions that will be considered are whether to cut off these "extras" or rs
